Mini-PCs have become a popular, budget-friendly alternative to full-blown PCs and laptops, thanks in part to the ongoing RAM crisis hiking the prices of computers to unaffordable heights.

One such Mini-PC that's earned a lucky sale is the ACEMAGIC K1 Mini PC Windows 11 Pro, a modestly decent piece of hardware for productivity that's now on sale for $399.99 at Amazon.

Why buy this mini-PC?

The ACEMAGIC K1 Mini PC Windows 11 Pro offers quite a few beneficial features for productivity users. It's equipped with an Intel Core i5-12600H processor with 12 cores and a min/max clock speed of 2.7Ghz/4.5Ghz, a 512GB SSD, and 16GB of RAM.

While its specs are a few years behind the current Intel Ultra Core 1 and Ultra Core 2 Series, they're more than enough to help the K1 Mini PC run Windows 11 just fine.

Other traits include built-in Wi-Fi, a compact size so it doesn't take up huge space on your desk, and multiple USB ports for keyboards, mice, USB sticks, and other compatible gadgets, while DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI ports handle monitors.

However, the K1 Mini PC is largely held back by a pricy MSRP of $580, which is on the high side for a mini PC with entry-level specs.

Thankfully, this 31% discount at Amazon has sweetened the deal to a more befitting price of $399.99. So, if you're looking for an affordable desk-top PC that won't occupy huge amounts of space without resorting to $1,000+ laptops that are getting more expensive thanks to the RAM crisis, this is a better money-saving solution.

FAQ

Is this Mini-PC good for gaming?

No, its Intel Core i5-12600H processor was designed for productivity, not gaming. So, unless you're playing extremely lightweight titles, you won't be able to play games on this device.

Does it have a cooling system?

It includes a silent fan, a heat dissipation copper pipe, dual copper fins, and a dual air duct design to keep the K1 Mini PC cool without making too much noise.
